Full Service Approach to
SITE and CIVIL DEVELOPMENT
Every successful development project starts with a site engineering and permitting services partner who can take a property from raw land to construction-ready. McFadden Engineering is a site plan engineering firm providing land development engineering, grading and drainage design and civil site design services for commercial and industrial clients of all sizes. As land development consultants, our team of professional engineers and geologists works through the site-specific constraints that determine whether a project stays on schedule or stalls in permitting.
QUESTIONS CLIENTS SHOULD CONSIDER
If any of these sound familiar, that’s exactly the kind of problem our engineering approach is built to solve.
SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED Engineering APPROACH
Civil site development succeeds or fails based on decisions made before work begins. With a multi-disciplinary approach, we offer services such as development master planning, grading and drainage plan development, detention and retention design and stormwater management.
Step 1 – Plan
We evaluate the site’s topography, soils, existing utilities and applicable zoning and regulatory requirements to develop a master plan for the property.
Step 2 – Design
We engineer grading, drainage and site layout, working through detention/retention requirements and utility coordination so the design satisfies both the client’s use needs and local development standards.
Step 3 – Permitting
McFadden provides site engineering and permitting services, preparing and managing the development permit package and coordinating with the local jurisdiction and other regulatory agencies to keep the project on schedule.
Step 4 – Support Construction
Our engineers stay engaged through construction to resolve field conditions and confirm the site is built to the approved design.
From a single-building expansion to a full parcel development, our land development engineering and civil site design services turn raw or underused land into a construction-ready property.
McFadden Engineering designs grading and drainage plans that move water off a site correctly, protecting the property and satisfying local development requirements.
McFadden’s commercial site development engineering and industrial site development engineering services support facility expansions, new construction and warehouse/building projects for clients of all sizes.
Using GIS tools, we map and analyze site conditions to support planning, permitting and design decisions.
Every industrial application is unique. We analyze existing processes and develop a plan to address compliance issues, whether that means upgrading an existing system or engineering a new one around the facility’s specific waste stream.
For municipal and utility clients, McFadden brings engineering discipline to public water and wastewater infrastructure, from treatment plant upgrades to the permitting and compliance work municipal systems must maintain year over year.
For clients with small to medium flow wastewater systems, McFadden offers training, maintenance and full facility management, giving facilities without a dedicated operations team access to engineering-backed day-to-day support.
Using in-house lab equipment and modeling software, McFadden builds water quality and hydraulic models to evaluate a facility’s problem before committing to a design direction, reducing the risk of over- or under-sizing a solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. McFadden provides civil site design and site engineering and permitting services for commercial and industrial clients of all sizes, from a single facility expansion to a full parcel development.
Both. Grading and drainage design is typically part of a full land development engineering project, but McFadden also takes on grading and drainage as a standalone scope when a site already has an approved layout and needs a drainage-specific solution.
Yes. McFadden’s engineers and geologists are licensed in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
